College Refocusing: Stay on same track? Change things up? A bit of both?

Working will definitely make you happier, even if it's some silly desk position or working in a cafeteria. You'll meet new people and it will occupy your time. Also, you need to lighten up a little, you're definitely missing the college experience. Go out, have fun, drink, go to a party, seriously. I know you don't want to fall under peer pressure, but you really aren't getting the most out of your university if all you're doing is homework in your dorm room, I had never gone to a party until college and I can say going out with a group of people is a great stress relief. There's a reason a saying on campuses is "Study hard, part hard". If your school organizes study groups, join one, those are great ways to meet people and get homework time in. Clubs are nice, try joining a 1-credit exercise class, you'll have fun, have scheduled fitness time, and most definitely meet someone. I managed a 3.5 with a job, partying, going out, having fun, making friends, etc. I feel college isn't really about the material you're studying but time management. Really crunch down on that and your stress will go away, don't play games or watch TV until your homework for the day, etc. is done. It really helps and then you'll actually find yourself with more free time. Live it up and get out of your dorm room, never be there, ever.
